Case Report: Non-reactive vasoreactivity testing in a patient with patent ductus arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension: is there still a way to turn things around?

Sisca Natalia Siagian, Elsa Hedia Panjaitan, Pandu Prasetyo NugrohoUniversitas Indonesia.Indonesia Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineFront Cardiovasc Med 2025; 12: DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2025.1569963 AbstractBackground: Recent guidelines recommend patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure in adults based on hemodynamic criteria, such as pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and flow ratio (Qp:Qs). However, additional parameters like acute vasoreactivity testing (AVT) and closure testing, though
